Joe Biden trolled for staff note saying ‘sir, there is something on your chin’

Joe Biden accidently displayed the employee's note to him during a White House virtual meeting with governors about wildfire prevention

President Joe Biden has been mocked after he accidentally revealed a note from a staff member that read, “Sir, there is something on your chin.” The gaffe happened when the 78-year-old was attending a meeting about wildfire prevention on the White House campus. It was attended by several governors, like California's Gavin Newsom, Washington's Jay Inslee, and Minnesota's Tim Walz.

A clip of the moment shared on Twitter by the Republican National Committee (RNC) soon went viral that showed an employee of Biden giving the note to him while Vice President Kamala Harris was addressing the governors. But the president took up the piece of paper the wrong way round, displaying the message to all. In the video, he was also seen cleaning his chin and then looking at his hand to see if he had managed to wipe it off properly.

The caption of the footage shared by RNC stated, “After a staffer gives Joe Biden a note saying, ‘there’s something on your chin,’ Biden wipes his chin. Then appears to put whatever was on his chin in his mouth?” People on the internet quickly start commenting on the clip with several mocking the Democratic leader. A user tweeted, “I hope it was mayo. Tell me it’s mayo. Please?” The second one shared a meme and wrote, “Here's the rest of Biden's family!” “Now same note for Kamala would have been been the money shot,” the third user said.

Another person stated, “Drooling in a symptom of dementia.” Another one remarked, “Proves that he’s done coke at some time.” “Biden ate it - looked like a booger?” a mocking tweet read and another one added: “Biden eats boogers! No wonder he needs his butt wiped!” “The note actually said: ‘Sir, there is something on your son's laptop,’” said one mocking tweet.

However, there were some who defended Biden too. A supporter of his wrote, “OMG you people will bitch and moan and try to humiliate Biden about anything. How many people out there have never had a crumb stuck to your face or something stuck in your teeth? The answer is NONE. It happens to all of us and it's certainly nothing to make fun of. Grow up!” The second one said, “Trump ‘Depends’ on miniscule reporting.” “Frank Zappa was right when he said, ‘There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.’ and RNC Research is the leader of such stupidity,” the third added and the fourth noted, “Trumps taxes will be headed to congress and an advisor told him to say the election was corrupt and he would handle the rest.  good luck with this hard hitting chin story.”

However, this was not Biden’s first gaffe. Recently, he clashed with a journalist who reminded him that he had said people in the US don’t need a mask after getting vaccinated. But the president denied, saying: “No I didn’t say that. I said if you’re fully vaccinated in an area where you do not have – well let me clarify that.” He continued, “That was true at the time. A new variant came along, they didn’t get vaccinated, it spread more rapidly and more people were getting sick. That’s the difference.”
